About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world

ABOUT ME

I want to see every single place in this world, and learn every language. And of course change the world. I realize it can be kind of tricky, but a little bit is better than nothing.

I'm back in Paris after four months in Cluj-Napoca in Transylvania, where I was hosting a radio show on human rights, and of course I travelled as much as I could, in Romania, but also in neighbouring Moldova, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, and Turkey.

I worked for a concert promoter (www.luger.se)for four years in Sweden, the best job ever. But since I wanted to try to live somewhere else, I gave it up. And like with all great jobs one tends to work way too much, c'est la vie. Lived in Paris for a couple of years, the city of light!, and then I moved on to Dublin.

I have a friend who built herself a house in Zanzibar, now that's something I like. She was a top class sql-server technician, really fancy job, but she decided she would be more happy as a diving instructor on this amazing island. That's taking advantage of life.

Apart from travelling and music I love books, my dream is to open a bookshop where I could host literary and political debates every week. Just to make Habermas happy.

I have a fantastic family that I try to see as much as I can: sister, brother, parents, aunts, nana, cousins - they mean an awful lot to me.

Other things that I care about are shoes, movies, cameras (my love in this world is my Hasselblad, and I recently bought a Fed 2, not too shabby either), spinach and halloumi, mango juice with water, white wine, red things, Emily the strange, markets, trains, trees and Berner Sennens. Especially my brother and fiance's five year old Holger.

There are of course many things I don't like, but it is too boring to get into how wrong and messed up our world is.
